Figure 1 Key Research: The Situational Assessment is developed on fundamental principles and leading practices for successful return to work that have been identified by research, including a systematic review of the literature completed by the Institute for Work & Health. Twelve “Principles” for Successful Return to Work 1. Strong Commitment/RTW Policy - The workplace has a strong commitment to a successful returnto-work program and this is evidenced by a return-to-work policy. 2. Injury Reporting Procedures - The workplace has a formal Injury/Absence reporting procedure which encourages the reporting of injuries, hazards and potential hazards or risks. The absence reporting system is consistent for all absences and is communicated to the employees. 3. Early Contact & Intervention - There is an early contact and intervention strategy. The communication is sensitive to the employee and conveys the support of the employer to the health and well-being of the employee. 4. Cooperative RTW Responsibility - Return-to-Work responsibilities are shared cooperatively by the workplace parties. There is joint administration of the program in unionized workplaces. 5. Elimination of Attitudinal Barriers - Education is provided to ensure that misconceptions and negative attitudes concerning injured workers are eliminated. 6. Transfer of Medical Information – There is a communication strategy to ensure health care providers are aware of the workplace RTW program and commitment to therapeutic RTW principles. 7. Linking Primary and Secondary Prevention – Successful accommodation strategies are considered and used in prevention strategies. 8. Utilization of Disability Prevention Principles – Barriers to reintegration into the pre-injury job are identified and removed using creative solutions. 9. Compliance with Human Rights – RTW must default to Human Rights legislation as the highest legislative obligation. DRAFT 10. Mobilization of the RTW Leadership – All workplace parties must be included and trained on active participation in the RTW process. 11. Internal Dispute Resolution Mechanism – Any disagreement that may arise during the RTW process should be dealt with internally through discussions with the key/relevant parties. 12. RTW Program Evaluation – The program must have continuous scrutiny to ensure it continues to provide the necessary support and desired outcomes. 4 Situational Assessment District of Kitimat
